Rockets: 2 reasons Tari Eason compares to a future Hall of Famer

One realistic comparison for Eason

A little over a month ago, Kelly Iko from the Athletic published his Q&A with Rockets' second year forward, Tari Eason. In it, Iko asked Eason about the amount of film that he watches on his own and if there are any others that he's studied.

You might have expected someone like an OG Anunoby or his new teammate, Dillon Brooks, as they are elite-level role players with similar 3&D capabilities to what Eason showed in his rookie season.

What he actually said is worlds more interesting:

"This summer I’ve watched a lot of film. Watched a lot of Jimmy Butler, little bit of Kawhi Leonard."
